Hole 7

The 474 metre par 5 seventh hole turns sharply left as it follows the corner of the adjacent sports ground.

The player is faced with two choices depending on the tee position. Take a long iron or hybrid and lay up or gamble on driving the corner giving yourself a chance of making the green in two. Many people attempting the drive come undone! Tall trees shield the edge of the fairway and those who manage to reach it hope that the ball doesn’t run down the opposing slope into the trees!

An accurate second or third shot finds a large two tiered green at the top of the hill, guarded by three deep bunkers and deep rough behind. Reading the slope of the tier is critical if the green is quick (and it usually is!) as downhill putts will accelerate the ball past the hole leaving a challenging second putt.
